Most people could find room for a 5-10G. Top of dresser, counter, desk, etc. Really no reason not to give in since you can get a decent tank kit at big box stores under $30 plus the shipping on the fish.

I got a decent 5gal kit at Petsmart for $27 I think. There are a few males in need of homes yet, all the females are spoken for.

However, I do understand that people don't want to become "that fish person" with tanks all over the house, or, to be become worse with the MTS. And there is the conundrum of taking the time to cycle it when the fish will be arriving presently. Fortunately, bettas are a *bit* more tolerant of fish-in cycling's tank parameters.

My older daughter (almost 5) has decided that we are keeping one cambodian female and has named her Zebra. Sigh. I'm gonna be "that fish lady" on top of "that cat lady" and "that plant lady." I guess I should be thankful that my love of living things didn't extend to me being "the lady with a million kids." No more of those.

I'm not that fish person yet...Hell if it wasn't inhuman and unfishworthy i'd find a new home for mr nippy aka jack in the five gallon tank and take one of the giant bettas off of bethy's hands especially since i live in northern KY

though he's probably mr nippy partially the fact that he started in the two gallon tank

Beautiful baby!
